The following question was presented:
The hangover has just about cleared from the Opening Ceremony party and subsequently raising a glass to my friend Jon who got married this past weekend. I suspect the next few weeks is going to be taken over by Olympics questions given that I'm probably going to get quite into the games. So let's start with the host nation prediction. Everything I seem to read says that the host nation gets about a 50% boost in the medal tally due to the home support advantage (which does indeed seem to be fantastic from what I can see on the TV). So where do you think Team GB will come in the overall medal table?
Results:
4th was the clear winner with 50% of the votes selected from the following:
- 1st (0%)
- 2nd (0%)
- 3rd (0%)
- 4th (50%)
- 5th (0%)
- 6th (25%)
- 7th (25%)
- 8th (0%)
- 9th (0%)
- 10th (0%)

Analysis:
As we end a week where Team GB has finished strong, picking up some great medal results, we see that they are currently sitting in the third position. Fourth seems to be where the votes have us ending, but maybe we can hang on to third. I personally think fourth is a potential after the US, China and Russia.
